Police said Kaytlyn Herndon, 21, of Jonesboro and Bonnie Taylor, 19, of Brookland were traveling north on Arkansas 135 in a 2012 Honda. Herndon made a left-hand turn onto U.S. 62 and drove into the path of the eastbound tractor-trailer, the report said.

Both women died at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
